I've been coming to this place for five years. Anyone who knows See Sound, knows that you're guaranteed friendly service and a packed atmosphere on any given night. Its a Seattle nightlife staple, and completely unique. The great thing about See Sound is, you can either dress to the nines or show up in ripped jeans and sandals. It's a great fusion of unpretentious mixed with a swanky atmosphere. The drinks are totally affordable. Beers are 4 bucks, and cocktails range from 6 to 10 bucks. As far as cover goes, if you really have a problem with it, show up before 10 and its free! That's pretty affordable right?! ;) The cozy dancefloor nestled intimately around the DJ booth makes for a really unique experience musically. Being that many high end international DJ's come through, there's the opportunity to get really close to the performer which is extremely exciting! Everyone is smiling, the sound system is great, and the screens throughout the club projecting visuals really add to the experience! I see a lot of comments on here comparing See Sound Lounge to an LA club, and anyone that makes a comment like that is obviously NOT up to date with the LA club scene. Lol. See Sound doesn't try to be Hollywood, nor is it. It's a warm, fun, yet classy and swank environment that you can't find anywhere else in Seattle.

I LOVE clubbing and have done my fair share around the world. From Miami to Ibiza to Paris, See Sound is right up there! It's great! Highly recommended!

Don't believe the negativity, come in and see for yourself!!

Did I really find a bar this cool in Seattle? I've been all over the west coast this past year and have yet to find anything as nice as See Sound. I thought I was in Miami.

My Friends were here from New York and were amazed that such a big DJ (Classix from LA) was playing this little club and shocked at how inexpensive drinks and cover were as well (compared to NYC I guess) My favorite was the salt water aquariums in the deep room. The puffer fish followed my finger around for awhile while he smiled away at me lol.

I'm definitely having my birthday party in their deep room this fall. Security, my own bartender and DJ and helium balloons everywhere.

BIG Thumbs up See Sound!! My new favorite hangout! I'll see you there for Salsa as well on Sunday.

Hey DJ Kevin, if you went in on a Wednesday it was top 40?s, if you went in on a Thursday it was Mash-Ups, Friday Deep House, Saturday Electro or Sunday Salsa. See DJ Kevin, no trance. (BTW, playing records in your bedroom doesn?t make you an actual DJ) And DJ Kevin if you played out at clubs you?d also realize that the ?whopping? cover charge PAYS THE DJS.

Now I can understand you feeling uncomfortable in a place that has outgoing, fun-loving, forward thinking, beautiful people in it. It?s not your scene. But to say that ALL the 1,000?s of people that come to SEE sound (not sea, it?s conveniently spelled correctly at the top of the page) were ?posers?, is just mean and inaccurate. We?ve been around for 6 years now and I think our crowds are some of the most fantastic people I?ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. Sure there are a few jerks, what place doesn?t have those people (you know the ones who seem to like to slam anyplace they feel uncomfortable in) but for the most part we throw a great party and the people who come with open minds and hearts make it even better.

Now, if I were to go to a Heavy Metal club and write on CitySearch that I didn?t like the loud music and all the people were too pierced, wouldn?t it sound a little ridiculous? Yes, we are trendy, yes we are a bit pricey, yes we have beautiful people, yes when you come inside it seems that you?ve traveled to a big city. What so wrong with all that?

See Sound hopefully won?t be going anywhere, anytime soon. There are people that have been supporting it for 6 years, voting it best bar, meeting boyfriends, girlfriends, wifes or husbands, we even have a few babies who have been born as a result of relationships formed at See Sound Lounge. With all that, I can?t help but be proud of it. A cool, trendy, upscale bar where beautiful people hang out. Sounds great to me!
xo, the proprietors

A friendly get together at a different location later moved to the Sea Sound Lounge so we tagged along.

After paying a whopping $30 cover for me and my girlfriend (really? $15 a piece? REALLY?) we went in hoping for the best. I expected the drink prices to be high as this is the trendy spot to hang but the $15 cover really caught me off guard. It was packed and the service was fine but the people looked like they all just walked in from Newport Beach. My girlfriend - who just recently moved here from So Cal - thought the same thing...So many posers both men and women...vibe was wrong and the music was incredibly horrible. The trance crap that was played has a following I guess but it's truly uninspired and takes very little talent to mix. (yes I am a dj) People don't even know what they were dancing to....LOL

The quicker this place goes away, the better. A wanna be LA nightclub that has no redeeming value whatsoever unless you are looking to stand next to an attractive person. That's really all I can say about it...I'll take a crappy dive bar that plays good music any day. Avoid at all costs!

I have thrown my holiday party here for two years in a row. The venue is perfect for what I'm looking for. The back room, Deep, has a private bar, plenty of sitting room, and nice decor. Originally, Deep was booked for the date I wanted it. I gave Rumi and Erica my name and phone number and they called me as soon as the date freed up. Everything worked out perfectly for my event and the guests had a fabulous time. I hope to be back next year for my holiday party!

with the addition of a wonderful celebrated chef Robin to the team the entire dining experience has transformed into a truly gourmet experience. the food is exquisite and delicious. now it's my preferred place for dining with the additon of great musical entertainment. highly recommend to all trendy crowd, foodies and winos :) as well as music lovers (the place features a steady stream of famous DJs from all over the word)

Great food which surprised me for a lounge. They have a new celebrity chef who is currently competing on Next Top Chef, she has my vote!

A really nice creative atmosphere, a smart place. I have no hesitation on recommending it, it offers a refreshing, stylish, bright feeling atmosphere. Amazing creative music and visuals. Entertaining and stimulating atmosphere, kudos to the master minds behind this place, you win my respect for something new and refreshing!! Thanks for bringing a little LA and NY to our humble Seattle.

Friendly environment. I came to Seattle for a weekend. I took visits to half dozens of club here. This club indeed drew my attention. The crowds are good looking (similar to the ones in Manhattan Beach and Beverly hill in LA). The dance floor is kind of small but the people there are friendly (good quality and smiling all the times). I am not a fan of house music. But the DJ was really good that night...

I am the world traveler (been six continents except Antarctica:). It is not the best club in the world, but this club indeed has its quality and is a good place to hang out in Seattle.

I have had some amazing nights dancing to the music at See Sound, and I would go back any weekend. It's great! I was also there for the King Britt show and I agree that the people who don't go for the music are annoying...it's pretty obvious who those people are. I will also agree that the drink prices can be outrageous! I guess that comes with a swanky nightclub like See Sound, but it's sort of disappointing. If you plan on going, get there early so you don't have to stand in line. You can always get a stamp and come back in if you get bored waiting for the DJs.

Just went there to see King Britt on Feb. 23. First, we purchased tickets (WHAT!) on clubzone as we really wanted to see King. We paid $12 plus fees for a total of $27 for two tickets. When we got at the door, the girls in front of us got in for $8. When questioned the door girl, she just looked blankly at us and gave us an unintelligible answer to why we paid $12 and if we could get a refund of the at least $4 extra we paid.

We've been here a couple of times before, and we really are not impressed with the trendy people or the attempt at an LA vibe. The best clubs in LA are hardly like this (we lived in LA for 10 years). The drink prices are also trying to be LA. The people who you could tell were not there for the music were yuck. Only a handful of the crowd really understood the artistry of King Britt. I appreciated the fans that did.

We'll be back in a few weeks for Marques, but now we know better to:
1. Don't buy tickets
2. Don't expect much from the crowd
